In NV it has really depended on the type of solar but seems anything that takes up large acres of land is going to be an issue. For ground based solar cell arrays we've had issues with the desert tortoise and other animals that it encroaches on their habitat. When you are using the molten salt method the bird population ends up at risk due to the laser like beam of light that gets directed towards the tower. They go so far as to deploy hawks and sounds but inevitably some bird brain gets fried.
